Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 777  Emperor Yang Zhou’s Inauguration (1)

Time passed swiftly.

Season changed from summer to autumn and leaves started to fall, changing the color of the street.

Over this period of time, Nan Hua stayed mostly in her residence, doing some missions as warm up and eliminating Nan Family enemies. Those who no longer had any place in the court and then killed through 'accident' grew in number.

But no matter how much those law enforcements investigated, they couldn't find the cause.

Thus, the number of unresolved cases increased.

The Nan Family had some internal problems but none of them leaked out, so no one knew the exact details. It was not as big as when Nan Luo rushed out while being covered in blood and blocked their grandfather's procession.

Everything seemed peaceful.

But those who were smart knew that this was only calm before the storm.

No one dared to say anything strange and do anything weird. Everyone was being careful in fear that they would be dragged into something strange.

Nan Hua sat in Ning Shu Pavilion. In front of her was a zither and her fingers flew across the string, playing beautiful melody. Beside her was her grandfather, who was listening intently.

It seemed harmonious and peaceful.

"Today is the day," Nan Hua said after she had finished playing the song. She woke up early today and dressed up as a male then play one song for her grandfather before he left.

Old Master Nan nodded. It has been three months since he was wounded. There was no way he could give excuse that he was wounded to steer away from this matter anymore. Anyway, he did want to participate since it was quite boring.

"Aside from those few families related to Nan Family and Tu Family, the others have been settled." Old Master Nan looked at his granddaughter meaningfully. To be able to do so much in a mere two months proved that all of their preparation beforehand was very good and that Nan Hua's skill was superb.

If not for these two things, there was no way things would have progressed so fast.

"Since His Majesty wants to make a move by himself, this subject naturally had to let him take the chance." Nan Hua looked at Old Master Nan. "Grandfather had to be careful outside."

"Don't worry." Old Master Nan let out a faint laugh. "There will be no one who would dare to cross me."

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather and replied softly, "Mhm."

Old Master Nan really wanted to talk more with Nan Hua, but he knew very well that he had to leave. As the Grand Duke of Fei Yang Kingdom, it was his duty to watch as Emperor Yang Zhou completed his inauguration ceremony.

Once the ceremony was completed, it meant that the power would fully fall in his hands.

No one would be able to go against him in the entire Fei Yang Kingdom anymore.

"Wear your mask now."

Nan Hua took the silver mask and donned it on. With this, no one would be able to recognize her as Nan Hua, the young miss of Nan Family who had been staying low for this time period.

Old Master Nan looked at his granddaughter who had perfectly changed herself. The moment she wore the mask, the aura around her changed. It was no longer the peaceful, calm, and quiet girl. But rather, the aura of a sharp and dangerous assassin or soldier.

The contrast was very big.

However, it somewhat suited her perfectly well.

Old Master Nan pushed the thought to the back of his head as he departed to the palace. There would be a lot of people there and he naturally couldn't miss this one in the lifetime event.

"Great General Nan," Prime Minister Lan was already waiting when he saw Old Master Nan appeared.

Old Master Nan nodded. "Has the preparation completed?"

"Yes, everyone is already in place. We only need to wait for the elders to finish reciting those."

"I see."

Prime Minister Lan then looked at Nan Hua, who was following Old Master Nan. He knew very well that this was not Nan Luo because Nan Luo was at the frontline, which was located quite far from here.

Well, not that far, but he was not in the Capital City.

"Is this Nan?"

"Yes, this is my son's adjutant, Nan." Old Master Nan passed a look at Prime Minister Lan. "He'll stay at the gate to prevent anyone from entering."

"I see."

Prime Minister Lan passed another look at Nan Hua before looking away once more. He had no intention of prying into Old Master Nan's secret. Even if he knew that there was something odd about this little kid in front of him, he wouldn't say it out loud.

For example, he didn't sense the kid's presence at all.

He used to be a general and naturally had fought countless life and death's battle. However, the little kid in front of him seemed as if he was not here and here at the same time.

If he didn't see the person in question directly, he might not be able to detect the other party.

"Come in."

"Nan, wait here."

"Yes."

17:15

Nan Hua didn't have any intention to come inside and follow the ceremony until it was over either. She was not really good at politics. Not to mention, these people were all very good at twisting their words and loved to use their vast vocabulary to bully others.

Her vocabulary had increased.

A bit.

But she still liked to be more direct and not have to face them.

"Adjutant Nan, we'll trouble you."

The soldiers around noticed Nan Hua too. However, they were a bit baffled when they saw how small and young this youth was. Was this really the same person who had nearly killed a River General and ruined their plan?

Nan Hua passed a glance at the soldier and nodded faintly. Her eyes looked at the front gate.

The battle had begun.
